Li Qi looked around.
Though it could not really be called "looking," because there was no light around him, nor matter, nor even time. There was only pure space, and this space had no directions. It was exceedingly strange.
Yet information still existed, and this information could be perceived.
It had been said before that, to beings of the third rank and above, external information could be false, could be altered. Thus, if one wished to perceive "reality," one could only perceive the true body of a third-rank being. (For details, see Chapter 893.)
Li Qi perceived the information here, directly perceiving its true body to obtain information that was accurate beyond doubt.
He could sense that...
Here, there were no directions in the spatial sense. There was only space itself. Thus, there were no dimensions here. Space had no direction, and therefore its volume was infinitely small.
Three-dimensional volume, two-dimensional area, and one-dimensional length—the essence of all these things was merely extension over different distances within a dimension.
One dimension was one direction. Thus, the volume of one dimension was the length of that line, determined by the distance between two endpoints.
By the same reasoning, an area had two directions, and thus involved directions between four endpoints.
Three-dimensional volume followed the same principle.
But what if there were no directions?
Then there would be only one endpoint.
There was only one endpoint, meaning that the endpoint was itself. It was a "point," with no volume. Because it was both beginning and end, its curvature was infinitely great, and spacetime curvature diverged there.
There was even another possibility: its left and right limits did not exist, so it approached no value. In that case, even the concept here was not infinity, but undefined—impossible to define.
But regardless, because its
